Summary

  • Fiona Harvey sets the record straight about Baby Reindeer on Piers Morgan's show.
  • Viewers captivated by the show Baby Reindeer search for the real-life Martha Scott.
  • The interview promises to reveal Fiona Harvey's perspective on her portrayal in the series.

Amid the popularity of Baby Reindeer, the real-life Martha Scott will feature in an interview with the controversial English broadcaster Piers Morgan. Her real name is Fiona Harvey, and this interview will be her first public appearance following the success of the show. Richard Gadd's Netflix miniseries, loosely drawn from his own encounters, centers around Donny, a young man whose life gets upturned after an older woman starts stalking him. Since the series debuted, viewers have been on the hunt for the real-life woman in Gadd's story, sparking reactions from both him and Netflix concerning the online search.

Baby Reindeer is based on a haunting true story of stalking and abuse, but it appears that Harvey wishes to contest her portrayal in the show. The real-life Martha Scott wants to say her piece and "set the record straight" about whether she is really a "psycho stalker", via Morgan's X account. The Baby Reindeer cast portrayed these characters with sensitivity and nuance, and the show has been praised for its seemingly honest and vulnerable portrayal, where Gadd doesn't shy away from making himself look bad too. Yet this interview promises to further stir the pot and center Harvey's perspective on the story.

Who Is Fiona Harvey? Her Claims & Comments About Baby Reindeer Explained

Fiona Harvey is a 58-year-old lawyer originally from Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, in Scotland. In an interview with The Daily Record, she refuted numerous events depicted in Baby Reindeer, including rejecting the notion of ever having been incarcerated and contesting the existence of a restraining order against her, as alleged by Gadd. Harvey is considering legal recourse against Netflix for her portrayal, preparing to act as her own legal representative, she stated to The Scottish Sun. "This is all made up and hyperbole," she said. "None of this happened. It’s a load of rubbish.”

Additionally, in an interview with The Daily Mail, Harvey alleged that Gadd is bullying her in a bid for fame, and that actually he is the one who'd asked her out, stalked her, and refused to take no for an answer. "He’s using Baby Reindeer to stalk me now," she said. "I’m the victim." Harvey further claimed to have received several death threats from supporters of Gadd and fans of Baby Reindeer. She insists that Gadd could have taken more steps to anonymize her if he really wanted to, and that he needs to leave her alone. It is expected that her interview with Piers Morgan will feature further revelations.

All episodes of Baby Reindeer are now streaming on Netflix.
